Mustangs & Fords had an article like that.
Can't remember specific details, but I think the father had a Boss '9, felt the engine stank and switched over to a 427 SOHC, car was stolen.
Kids tracked down a '9, and a SOHC 427 and redid basically what their father had done years previous.
I remember it was blue, and in CA.
I only know it was CA because I remember the article talked about how he used to drive down Van Nuy's before the lights were installed.
